Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that harnesses your body’s natural healing process to improve skin texture and appearance. At Columbus Facial Plastics, our skincare experts use advanced microneedling techniques to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering collagen and elastin production for firmer, smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
Microneedling uses a device with fine, sterile needles to create thousands of micro-punctures in the top layer of skin. These tiny wounds stimulate your skin’s repair response, flooding the treated area with collagen and elastin. We enhance your results by applying nourishing topical solutions that penetrate deeply through the micro-channels, promoting healing and magnifying skin benefits.

Microneedling is a versatile treatment that can benefit men and women of all ages and skin types who want to improve:
Our skincare specialists will assess your skin and recommend the best treatment plan to help you reach your goals.
Your microneedling journey starts with a personal consultation. We’ll analyze your skin, discuss your concerns and objectives, and determine if microneedling is right for you.
On treatment day, we apply a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort. Your provider will then pass the microneedling device over your skin, creating micro-punctures. We may apply a tailored serum or PRP (platelet-rich plasma) to enhance your results.
After microneedling, your skin will appear red, similar to a mild sunburn. This typically subsides within 24-48 hours. Over the next few days, your skin may feel dry and flaky as it heals. Gentle skincare and sun protection are essential.
Most patients need a series of 3-6 microneedling treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart for best results. While you may notice a glow within a few days, collagen regeneration takes time. Improvement continues gradually in the months following your treatment.
Microneedling may be offered at medical spas and aesthetics centers, but for optimal safety and results, trust your skin to a qualified facial plastics practice. At Columbus Facial Plastics, microneedling treatments are performed under the direction of Stephen Nogan, MD, ensuring uncompromising quality and care.
Our extensively trained team has years of experience in advanced microneedling techniques. We offer the latest technologies and customize each treatment to your unique skin. Combining microneedling with other rejuvenation therapies like PRP, chemical peels, and laser resurfacing produces dramatic, long-lasting results you’ll love.
